At 6.30PM, a luxury car parked outside the set of ‘The General’s Lonely Daughter’. Eviette changed into her casual clothes and walked up to Veronica. “Veronica, let’s go eat together.”
Veronica didn’t have any scenes left today, so she also changed into her own clothes. When Eviette called her, she got up and grabbed her bag.
Probably since Matthew used to be one of the Top Ten Young Elites in Bloomstead, was handsome and wealthy, and recently came back to life, he garnered a lot of attention. Many actors gathered around him to take pictures when he appeared on the set.
The man in a suit and leather shoes had one hand in his trouser pocket and the other holding a cigarette. He walked over with a high and mighty stride, resembling a supermodel being captured on the streets as he exuded an elegant aura. “Wow, Matthew is so handsome!”
“How did he come back to life? I still can’t figure it out.” “I really like him. I think he and Eviette are a perfect match.”
“Although he is my husband, I’m still willing to give up my position as the legal wife if he marries Eviette.”
“Ew. Stop daydreaming.” “Look, Veronica shamelessly came over with Eviette. Why isn’t she embarrassed?” The crowd whispered among each other.
“Thank you for coming to pick me up, Matt.” Eviette walked up to Matthew and smiled gently. She turned around and glanced at Veronica, then continued, “Veronica hasn’t had dinner yet. Do you mind if she comes with us?”
Matthew looked past Eviette, and his gaze landed on Veronica, who was behind her. Although she appeared carefree, the hurtful words around her made Matthew inexplicably heartbroken.
At this moment, he doubted himself. Was the decision to fake the divorce really the right one? Although he protected Veronica, the hurtful words from the outside world were still hurting her. Matthew made up his mind and decided to talk to Veronica about the situation tonight. He couldn’t keep her in the dark.
“As long as you don’t mind.” Matthew smiled in response.
“Then let’s get in the car.” Eviette didn’t hold Matthew’s hand but held Veronica’s hand instead as they headed toward the car.
Matthew opened the passenger door for Eviette. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she smiled sweetly and got in the car.
The moment she got in the car, Matthew and Veronica’s eyes met. His obsidian-like eyes were filled with an indescribable heartache, and even his grip on the door tightened lightly. Veronica was initially indifferent to his actions, but now, she could feel sadness enveloping her heart, and even doubt. Did she lose to Eviette after going through all the hardships with him?
If Matthew announced the divorce to the public in order to help her grow in the entertainment industry, then what was the purpose of his ambiguous relationship with Eviette now? She couldn’t understand. Veronica withdrew her disappointed gaze, opened the car door, and got in..
That kind of gaze made Matthew feel a sharp. pain in his heart. He closed the car door and entered the driver’s seat before starting the car and driving away.
On the way, Eviette and Matthew were chatting and laughing, while Veronica was ignored like air. Every time Veronica looked up at the rearview mirror, however, she would unexpectedly meet Matthew’s gaze.
She gradually couldn’t understand his intentions. After ten minutes, the car stopped at the parking lot of a high-end Turkish restaurant in Production City. The three of them got out of the car.
Matthew and Eviette walked in front, while Veronica followed behind. It looked as if the couple in front were a match made in heaven, while she was out of place.
“Matthew!” Suddenly, a deep voice sounded in the underground parking lot.
